Nice spears, Luc.

Show them again when they are cleaned.

I checked with Westerdijk (IJzerwerk van Centraal-Afrika - Ironwork from Central-Africa). According to this author both your spears come from the Nkutshu-Tetela group living in Central-Congo. As these spears were also used as currency, they can be easily found amongst neighbouring tribes (such as Mongo, Kutu, Saka, etc...)
